This Wednesday, October 3 at 6PM, "Any Wednesday" at Barnes & Noble Lincoln Center present Judy Kuhn, Tony-nominated Broadway star (Rags, Les Miserables, She Loves Me), as she celebrates the release of her newest album, "Serious Playground," devoted to the songs of Laura Nyro.

Following, on Thursday October 4, Barnes & Noble presents two events that will appeal to our theater and cabaret fans:

At 5:30PM is the final discussion with participants in the New York Musical Theatre Festival. The panel will discuss what it's like climbing the ladder of success from the perspective of young, emerging musical theatre writers. A musical performance from one of the NYMTF show will be included.

Then 7:30PM features Wilfrid Sheed's witty exploration of the roots of popular American music, "The House That George Built." This book earned two rave reviews in the New York Times. Now come and hear passages from the work, as well as delightful songs created by the masters of the genre.
